What's Happening

This area is an employment center for the Columbus community. The architectural quality of the area is high, particularly the industrial parks and the city’s fire station. The area has excellent highway access to I-65, S.R. 11, S.R. 31, and S.R. 58.

The primary function of commercial development in this area is to serve the industrial parks and interstate traffic. Gasoline stations, convenience stores, and fast food restaurants are located at the I-65/S.R. 58 interchange.

Two industrial parks are located at the I-65/S.R. 58 interchange: Woodside Business Center and Woodside South. Additional industrial development is located northwest of the interchange. Approximately 4,000 people are employed in this area. The industrial development is within the city limits and is served by Columbus sewer and water systems. The industrial parks are well planned and well maintained, with an excellent interior road system and high-quality landscaping.

Two significant government facilities are located in this area. The new Fire Station 6 is located here, offering quick response time for the businesses and residences in the area. Also located in the area is the county’s new sanitary landfill. This facility serves the city and county and is expected to handle the community’s solid waste disposal needs for the next 50 years. Outside of the industrial parks and landfill, particularly to the south, the dominant land use is agriculture.
